Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your De Buyer Choc Resto pan, follow these essential care steps:
- Before First Use: Wash the pan with warm soapy water and a soft cloth to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry thoroughly.
- Heating: Never heat the pan while empty, as this can degrade the non-stick properties. Always add a small amount of oil or butter before turning on the heat.
- Utensils: Only use wooden, silicone, or plastic tools. Metal forks or spatulas will permanently damage the coating.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid the dishwasher, as aggressive detergents will strip the protective coating over time.
- Storage: If stacking, place a protective felt or soft cloth between this pan and others to prevent scratches.
